What is YOUR greatest trick that you ever landed in the skate series?

[NotedDerk]

I'm curious to see what others answers for this will be, not to mention some sick clips.

I want to know what is the best thing that you have ever landed and FILMED throughout the series, all your opinion of course, you can give the details/story behind it as well, I'd enjoy reading it.

Mine would have to be the banger for my final skate 2 video.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oadK5_wRulo

illmatic and I we're up all night that day it happened, just trying to film for our 5-in-1 debauchery video and I was aiming for something I wasn't sure I was able to do.

The body varial/sex change DURING the boardslide was the most irritating part, but i'm sure you figured that out, if you watched it. After almost two hours of straight failed attempts at it, I was about ready to quit, but I was stubborn and determined to get it.

After that long period, I finally got the body varial/sex change to not cause me to bail so he caught it on the VERY end of the orange barrier and I just quickly reacted to turn back to normal stance and it ended up being perfect.

BAR NONE, the best clip/trick that I have EVER done.

[nolan1053]

My back feeble to back smith and banger (Switch laser flip) seem to be the favorites of most people.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swpLZTS8SH0
It had taken me...about 3 hours to do. I got it about 4 times prior, but none the looked as good and kept the same speed. I also had AI skaters constantly trying to skate the rail and get in my way, it got so annoying that I had to do delete the dude off my friends list because his AI kept getting in the way.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgd-wFz5UBI
Also, my one foot tail tap over the roll-in at the Snake Run park. My tail tap at 2:11. The tailside kickflip out at 2:51 and the blunt kickflip out after it.

[xI blisk Ix]

At 1:56 I did a switch BS 5-0 to switch blunt, so much frustration

[Slamooh]

On s2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEuXVSQ1v7A
Banger in this vid (that i consider as my best edit on S2)... took me too much time... both ledges arent flat...

On S3... not released yet... but its a gap too

[fallingskyline]

buttslide in skate 2 - i lost the video, but there'll be someone that knows what i mean

filmingwise for skate 3 i think the fakie treflip (banger)

i don't know about hardest cause i could post a lot of vids here but this one got some pretty retarded shit going on,and torfinho's told me his last trick was the hardest he's ever done.

i remember spending 6 or 7 hours on one trick in my s1 downhill video.but i've probably done even worse in pools.

i guess the hardest trick award would go to southcity or bullet,in the s2 dubs era.

[bohemian]

hardest trick award vote goes to bullets ender in the last psychonaut video. flawlessly done and impossibly hard.

[Tubilakken]

mmm hard one. Maybe my feeble to smith ( banger ) [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZCWwEKJgss)
or my ss nosemnl popless 360 flip ss mnl @ [1:59](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-wm3Funp0)
or my front board to lipslide @ [2:55](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-wm3Funp0)
or my SS Marc Johnson @ [4:04](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-wm3Funp0)
or my variel heelflip under rail @ [4:16](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-wm3Funp0)

I have been making vids for such along time, so it's hard to remember, and to choose. but I think these above are my own personal fav.

[Manolo]

great stuff tubi,reminded me that the craziest tricks done in this game award goes to pawnluv.

[Stevland]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVzxoqE4kXk

ender. took like 4 nights of trying it on and off.

and then eflix did it too within an hour :/

[Jack]

Hats off to Noted for making this thread. There are some monster tricks in here that I forgot about.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BqIAytGcKs


3m25s

Wallride up The Darkness. This took me 6 months.

Inspired by Demzilla who told me his tecnique to get enough speed to ollie up The Darkness. I tried for 3 months using his setup and then gave up. Later, Stevland told me I needed to go back and get it befroe S2 ended. I dragged 2 dumpsters onto the ledge above the alley and pushed them over the fence, then I stacked the dumpsters on top of each other through a tecnique that I would rather not describe but could be easily summarized as "ass-pain" and then set my marker on top of the dumpsters and jumped into a quarterpipe in the back of the alley. With this setup, it still took me 2 more months to actually get to the top of the stairs and land the trick.

Wallride up the Darkness. No trick has ever been harder for me and it is without question the trick I am most proud of.

[Anchors]

Damn Jack. I remember watching that and yelling "no he didn't!"

ender ollie. i didn't think it was landable. it took 3 two hours sessions. i got lucky...

i got a switch fs smith switch tre out that got magically deleted :(

No greater trick has ever been done down, or up Darkness since.

[Monk]

well , technically this wasnt 'landed'.. but this took me a few days straight nonstop right when s2 came out to get it right.... and even then the board went through the rim... :(


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYFl3nCPSas

[Hitmanx123]

MY greatest trick?


....shit...the darkslide i did in skate 1 at the library (first one ever btw), now that its deleted i cant show you guys but whatever....

EDIT*Actually hold that i fluckin almost forgot about hubba hideout omfg, i did a nollie late flip bs noseslide on it, AND a nollie late flip bs blunt in the same day. Kush witnessed both of them

i wanted to say a trick thats prob gunna be in my new part, but *no spoilers*

[itsNJ]

The banger in this s2 solo was one of my best.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KG6kM5DQAo

Or the blunt kickflip to fakie in the deathbox at 2:09 or the banger were also some of my best

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PPpWcVth48

[PyR0MaNiAc225]

the banger to my new s2 solo (W.I.P.) but itll satisfy your bloodthirst when it comes believe me
or the double grind line i sent to the community bye to s2 vid that supa cut in half lol :(

[pawnluvguitarist]

So many tricks, hard to pick one, maybe a few from each game:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mIDwKU_HtY
the opening trick (long ungrindable 5-0)
1:58 (ungrindable rock to fakie)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK9yQQtDFY4
:12 (blunt fingerflip)
:53 (heelflip wall kick bonk kickflip)
1:32 (double nosebonk)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBRayv5W130
3:25 (hippy shuv to fakie nosemanual)
ender (back heel hippy 50-50

[Roccityroller]

no this is your best trick

http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/13/01/50/02/untitl12.png

[Antwan]

In my opinion you don't have a best trick pawn maybe a most difficult..
enjoy watching the madness unfold for sure..

1:40ish double piss footplant action.. as far as I know only available in skate 2.

all of these...
especially the blunt to blunts and the triples...0:27 till the end

[TACOPUNISH3R]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ206ka-CAo
The ender here

I topped it up, but the video got taken down, so I got to footy :(

[NotedDerk]

Lance, please don't try to spam your videos here just for views.

If you're greatest clip is in one of the two then I'd be glad to see it, but just saying "all of these" isn't narrowing it down AT ALL.

[HorseHead]

Dude, these are all pretty sweet. I forgot about a bunch of these until now.


This is a leftover vid after my collab with Skhate for S2. I don't think a lot of people even saw this video and the ender is totally completely ridiculous, but it had been something I had been screwing around with and trying and couldn't do. It became a thing I'd try every now and again and I finally got it. But still thought it was too crazy to use, just way too over the top.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6M5FnZdmCk

Actual collab with Skhate in S2. I'd been trying to get through that damn bus bench hole for waaay too long. I'd also like to point out that Skhate's ender in this is one of the gnarliest tricks ever done in S2, for sure. That shit's not even grindable.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG7yEThIfZ0

My Megamyth ender had to be my hardest for S3 if we're doing S3. That stop sign's not grindable and it's like 300 feet away from that ledge.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaPzeTl48ik

[Demzilla]

ive been thinking about this for a few days now and i cant think of anything that sticks out...

i have done the same trick over and over and over for months at a time...
landing the trick over and over again...
for days..
for hours...
but not getting the right landing i want...

border line torture....
as the years went on ive gotten alot better but still..
some things in s1 and s2 where beaten to death for so long the trick lost its appeal...

that shit was sad but satisfying all at the same time...

[Anchors]

^ your flatground 360 ender

horse that stop sign was insane

[Skatehead]

http://www.wegame.com/watch/Skateheads_Sugar_Lips/

banger.....
this solo got me where im @ today...on the worst team ever....and i love it.

[Oddity]

Ender for this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws_KRgeJbd8

[bohemian]

the clip i was most stoked on was the ender in eflixxxism, a bluntslide tresoutta infront of a photographer. treflips from nose and tail slides and blunts was as many rememder kinda tricky, and the spot and setup was not the easyest to deal with. i remember being stoked on keeping the pop up on the sidewalk prior to the bluntslide low, and landing high in the bank was also sweet. The trick took me a couple of sessions, and i still get happy rewatching it.

ive also done a million huge and tricky gaps, but none stick out as a number one clip.

direct link to the trick here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXYjW6zcv24&feature=player_detailpage#t=268s

[knexzor]

I remember watching anchors ender, got blown away by the fact that his ender was a straight up ollie but yet one of the hardest tricks I could imagine... Sick



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG1pr8X9wwQ&feature=player_embedded
4:02 : Two last tricks in my part for your s2 full length

Nollie down that stair was a good 4 hours trying. Full speed, a 90° turn round a corner, a glitchy edge right at the top of the stairs, not hitting either side of the walls and last but absolutely not least, I kept hitting the ceiling on my way down. Timing had to be pinpoint exact, close to impossible.

Ender was something I tried on and off for a couple of months, a few hours at a time. Getting the speed meant turning on the pillar quarterpipe thingy which made the camera perspective for the next part very hard; ollieing up to that bench from an angle. Avoiding the magnetism when I finally hit the bench was also a pain. Lastly the gap is pretty big so I needed maximum pop.

[Jack]

this thread is bliss right now. When I get home, I'm going to get lit and watch every video one after the other. Demzilla . . .come on . . . what about your 50-50 wallride at the end of S2? I remember tripping balls when I saw that shit, that's the best I can think of off-hand, but there's so many more.

[Demzilla]

is this thread about proud tricks or hard tricks that took forever...
that 50 wall ride is fantastic but it only took a good 10 tries...

that 360 kick flat ground was done a few times till i said fuck this im keeping it....
it was suppose to be the opener to a run...

one trick though..
never filmed..
took 2 games to do...

front hurry dub grind front blunt....
thee most frustrating thing ive ever wanted in the game...
got it at the end of s2 but didnt film it cause the self satisfaction was so over whelming i forgot...
you know when you do dub grinds and you guy gets stuck..
still sliding but he wont move or ollie..
that hideous....
south did it in 10 min...
prolly over 30 times in that last month of my hope....

proud?...
ender for my next full....
noseblunt ungrindable on a grind spine....
slide like 8 feet before he locks in noseblunt...
nose hanging off the edge...
im really proud about that and i cant wait to show it off...

[scharkey]

I know the servers for the OG skate reel are down, but is there any access to vids you currently had uploaded? I had this fs flip thread the needle type trick that I never put in a video since I was done with filming for og skate. Out of any type of grind/gap I've done in the skate series, it was one of the most difficult tricks I had attempted (still haven't been able to do it).

[thesignguy]

Sweet thread, I have read everyones post and I can't wait to get all these in. Demz your first kf foot kick wall might be the single most clip that really made me want to make videos. I don't remember which video it was, you had just a part. Follow cam, I could draw it even. All tubs shit!!!

I have posted these videos more than I ever would wish but...

Nose grab tail slide, looks dumb now but where that vert ramp would turn it wouldn't let you stay on track.
And the ender, incredibly frustratingly hard. It was a trick set in a contest by midnight. His actually had a kf at the end. Took me 3 days non stop, my controler had perma manual and I was so fucking stoked when I got to the end I blew the kf.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaaIqJFzlT8

The chair slide hippy banger. Of all clips as kinda corny as it might be, come on its just so stupidly sick!! Plus it got Chris Haslam to personally say my name (maybe even more corny but...) which now that EA is pretty much extinct from my future. I should of won that contest AND the Santa Cruz GC contest. But Ron Yatco said I couldn't win any more contest. So they bribed me with Etnies Shoes, some clothes, and stickers and some other shit. I was SUPOSED to get "hooked up" as Ron put it by Santa Cruz but it never happened. I wasn't about to get pissed off and complain. Middle aged man stealing first in all there kiddy game contests. I never mailed him a print of his sushi gc like I said I was. I had some stupid idea I could make fathead type wall graphics for skate, you design a gc or do a trick. Then I convert it to a removable wall graphic. With hopes of doing them for madden. Fatheads you have to pick from one or two poses. With this you could design your own pose. That way I could get around the NFL copyrights. Ea owns them. So that's why I always sucked up with the gc's in the early days. Not sure why I'm saying all this, I guess cause it's never going to happen or never would have.

holy shit knexor...i did the same treflip at the gap only going the other way and i thought that was good....

mine would have to be
S3-ender
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAJq4JjWNrI
i love everything about this trick...the spot, the creativity, the difficulty, the trick...not to sound full of myself

[Tassemann]

i think this is the trick ive been most stoked about. but im not sure if it's my greatest trick


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FlWU_y29bc

It took a long time to do. Ive landed a few others, but they didnt look that good.

[EternalRewind]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNDcBgSZHMk

Last two tricks took lots of time and many months... Landing both trucks on rounded poles and then coming off and landing was tricky.

[quetonto1]

My Hippie Tailwalk thing, can't be bothered to get a link

Got on one Day, tried some stuff, pole got annoying, talking to magic and moses, as usual i wasn't chatting, they out of nowhere started shouting, good times

[obsolete1]

ender for a promo: dogpiss plant finger flip (0:55) i was so damn excited about that one


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsrC7CWY8UQ

[NotedDerk]

that was amazing obsolete, not to mention that inward heel tweak was dope as well, but THAT was gorgeous.

[Legend4ry]

Theres some amazin' stuff in this thread - I haven't got anything on film of significance to add to this thread but i'll try to do something soon haah!

[OleScrubby]

WOAH
thats gotta be one of my fav youtube phrases
anyway the stuff in this thread is just off the hook!
i like to think that you can have two greatest tricks...one arcade style and one realistic style...and maybe even include the trick that you worked the hardest for.
my greatest arcade trick could be my only S2 double frontflip or maybe something from the fun track cliff drop...ill have to go thru my old reels...anyway awesome thread guys

[briden]

I'm bummed I didn't register earlier; some of the shit posted here is just wild.

Last trick in this vid, 3:25-ish. I could probably never replicate this if you gave me 600 tries and came back next week.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNGDhPmdJ0s

[OleScrubby]

At 1:56 I did a switch BS 5-0 to switch blunt, so much frustration

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zpk62jIkqg

1:09 was straight up filthy!! best late shuv i ever seen

[Memphis blue 72]

Fast-forward to 6:32.
It's the famed blueslide.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEJFVzQp4bc

[OleScrubby]

sick bruh
i actually remember seeing that on my skate.reel for the 1st time and being like "holy shit!"

[Panther]

21 seconds, tail, 360 pop to nose blunt.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A89nXE4xRkM

[Memphis blue 72]

Hey panther... you cut off my blueslide... Either way, soooo sick. I actually remember my jaw dropping really hard when I saw your part for that video.

[yellowsnow]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCF_S8Wzsto

The first line in this video was the one that took me the longest. Popless Tre's out of a tailslide and then a out of a noseslide, really frustrating...

[momadaddy]

great thread!! all kinda of crazy goings ons in here. anchors ollie was huge i tried that and could never pull it off.

i dont know if this was my hardst but it was my fav without a doubt @ 1:40

my solo's got my proudest shit ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SXUWbIxSFw
mainly
1:18 the 3 shuv nose powerslide

i have to search the interwebz to find the tricks that took me the longest
i had a 5050 to 5050 in my prophecy full part that took me about 5-6 months on and off
other than that i'm not sure about my proudest fake skate moment

[Slamooh]

When you met me

[Permy]

When you met me
yeah nevermind
it's this

[fallingskyline]

spotwise the craziest stuff that blew my mind went down on frequency park with momadaddy in an online session, that spot had me and i wanted to conquer it:

s2. probably my ender in this:

s3, don't know. not sure i've released it yet. not even sure if i've filmed it..

[briden]

s2. probably my ender in this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBcxl6G39WU

s3, don't know. not sure i've released it yet. not even sure if i've filmed it..

That was B-E-A-utiful.



I had a semi-similar 270 out in my last S2 video, @ 4:24


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtBNEmZrsFU

The last trick might be worthy of this thread too, very skinny landing.

[zodas]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIwae2-ZaGI

The banger. A parallel FS 360 shuv hippy.

The rest of the video is sweaty dog bollocks...I really had no idea what I was doin back then.

[BannerBoy360]

Dude, that was insane sh*t! how do you dogpiss plant. is there a glitch, does it work in skate 3, or was it just that particular school spot in s2?

[replicant]

Not sure what I would consider my best, but one I am most proud of was landing No Comply Body Varials back in S2.

[teh m1L3z]

1st trick to pop in my head when i read this was. my nollie fs flip downb teh art gallery triple set in skate 1.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXcVk7gtmDQ
(5:37)

the story.....
ok, pre hoodlum, pre any skate team for that matter...
i was kickin' it with the BKS crew. i knew mazzdizzy from the forums and got in some sesh's with the guys. everyone was bombin the hill trying the triple set. after a few hrs of casing it, everyone left but me and mazz. then i finally did it. did a nollie flip first then went back and did the nollie fs flip. at the time they freaked out when i told. said no one has done anything nollie down it. like it matters. but id like to think i was. boosts me E-ego. haha

also, id like to thank sknoodler for urging me to put a video out with movie maker since vegas was crapin out. if he didnt i may have not put out a vid and got on SnD and ultimately gotten on Hoodlum.


i miss OG days to death.
but wouldnt change a god damn thing.


YO CIP HAD A MUFUCKIN TUG BOAT IN HIS MOUF!!!!

76 steelers defensive line!

clay and magic get it...

[fsdoubleflip]

I'd have to say it was when I did a boardslide popover to feeble on the bigger handrail in the black box park. It'll be in my solo whenever I get around to making it lol

[Gautreauxcinco]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAMIF0_R3Yk

Mine necessarily isn't the greatest trick, but most challenging to me. The gap @ 1:07 was HELL because of the rail at the end.

Then the most awesome trick I've done is the crooked grind to darkslide @ 1:34

[sarsparillo]

I got two; one a simple back smith up some stairs, the other is the no comply - nose - 360shuv - tail banger. Both in this vid.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na20uH_S-rQ

Back smith is at 1:32ish and there's no way I could ever land it again. It was one of those first try holy shit everything fell together perfectly moments.

I could probably knock out the nose 360shuv tail banger (3:11) again but it would take hours.

[agusbmxarg]

I think I don't have any video/proof of my greatest move but, from the ones I have, I think it will be this bs tail to strange hop up to the building's edge at 1:05


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0GEnRhDAwk

[SK8ERatWAR]

the trick/line that i've worked the hardest for probably is the line for LBmag's cotw... SOOOOO MUCH FRUSTRATION with that one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLBWVGEMyn4
and i think my sickest trick is in another line for lbmag's cotw, a sw blunt to noseblunt.. this one was disqualified because i didn't use both benches xD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK0qWsE6WPk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

oh and milez.. holy SHIT that was a big nollie fs flip

[d22d223]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlgwGnB6kxA
at 2:03
never got this one again

[DiziFrog1318]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xipnaSNWzLw



The greatest thing I think I ever did was my triple grind in Skate 2. It was a blunt to nose to board in The Matrix plaza, at 1:19....

The reason I think it was the greatest because I haven't been able to do it again since. lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6crG-R6y0UI

7:55....
Ungrind 5-0 to Ungrind tail..
this trick took me forever and a half to get right.
I tried this trick about 50 times before i got one that slid correctly.

But my banger in this video had so much history that i would consider it my favorite trick.

That is until RF releases our new full...
I feel like ive finally surpassed what i could do in s2..
there are quite a few tricks in this part that go beyond what i thought was possible :)
